Aside from being marginally interesting to friends, family, some sports fans, snowsports enthusiasts, and beer drinkers, this is a near-colossal waste of bits and web surfing time, and it should not be viewed by anyone.
There. You've been warned.

10 August 2006

The division I work in had a big party today at the McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse, to celebrate some recent successes. One of the staples of these celebrations has become a song parody contest, where you can win stuff for totally nerdifying a popular song. The more the lyrics reflect whatever it is we're celebrating, the better...usually.

I'm no singer, but I gave it a whirl today with my parody based on "Come Together". I needed a pint to loosen up, but they weren't pouring Terminator yet, so I settled for a hef. My singing wasn't spectacular, but it was marginally in-tune and on rhythm, and the crowd enjoyed the lyrics. Got a lot of cheers after each verse, and a huge response when it came to the judge-by-applause lineup after all the contestants did their songs.

I won't post the lyrics here, in part because I used some code names, but mostly because the few readers I have who would 'get it' probably saw me perform it anyway. Suffice to say, it was clever enough to net me a 30GB iPod that does video and everything. And it's shiny and black and awesome.
